ALB and gastric cancer: We also observed that the LysoPS and LysoPG levels for all of the molecular species detected in the ascites were higher in the ascites from gastric cancers (Fig. 2C, supplemental Fig. S2C) and that the levels of all of the LysoPS species and several LysoPG species were still higher in the ascites from gastric cancers after adjustment according to the ALB level (Fig. 2D, supplemental Fig. S3C).
